The introduction of a booking system for these types of vehicles will enable us to better manage service demand and ☀️ reduce queuing at peak times.

Book your slot to visit a recycling centre in a van

If you want to visit an ☀️ Essex recycling centre in a van (including pick-up trucks and any vehicle towing a trailer with more than one axle), ☀️ you will need to book a slot in advance. Any vehicle that is 3,500kg (3.5 tonnes) or over, agricultural vehicles, ☀️ horse boxes/trailers and tipping flatbeds are not accepted at any of the recycling centres in Essex.

What Essex County Council defines ☀️ as a van, pick-up or large trailer.

Please remember, recycling centres only accept household waste and limits apply on DIY and ☀️ construction waste.
